"Let it be very clear, then, that when the church preaches social justice, equality, and human dignity; when the church defends those who suffer poverty or violence, this is not subversive nor is it Marxism. This is the authentic magisterium of the church.

I could understand that about ideology, but I meant more strategically speaking. Angels are supposed to have a higher knowledge than humans, but instead of just throwing themselves into a woodchipper, why not rebel in other more subversive ways? In ways that last a longer game than a war of force?
What did they or Lucifer believe they would accomplish in a war they would lose? They know they can live an eternal existence and they should have therefore had time to develop a strategy. I was just hoping to find a Bible passage or piece of apocrypha describing what Lucifer said to instigate a war against God.
Either they were human in some way and decided to challenge God over ideology or they were alien and saw some unknown strategy that their battle accomplished. I'm trying to understand how angels were believed to think
Yeah, I take your point. Although being expelled from heaven they were given some influence on the humans on earth, so maybe that was their strategy?
